From Pilot to Business Impact: Making AI Agents Count

A leadership discussion with a virtual wine tasting to follow

Thursday, November 12th | 4:00 PM ET

Join MongoDB’s Devin Dickerson and Ben Perlmutter for an executive conversation on where AI agents can improve meaningful business work, and how to tell whether a pilot is creating real value. Many organizations are experimenting with AI. Far fewer have a clear view of which experiments deserve further investment. This session starts with the business problem, not the technology. You’ll explore where AI agents might improve important work, what evidence leaders should expect before expanding a pilot, and which choices around ownership, people, and judgment determine whether an initiative scales.

This is a discussion-led session for business and IT leaders. It’s not a technical deep dive or a product demo.

What you’ll explore

• From curiosity to relevance: Spot the work where waiting, handoffs, and repeated information-gathering slow customers down and take time away from your best people.
• Choosing an opportunity worth pursuing: What makes a first use case important enough to matter, common enough to learn from, and focused enough to measure.
• From pilot to measurable impact: A simple executive scorecard covering outcomes, starting point, quality, adoption, full economics, and the evidence that would justify continuing, changing course, or stopping.
• Leadership choices for responsible scale: Who owns the outcome, where human judgment should stay central, and how to bring the people closest to the work along.

What you’ll take away

• One workflow worth evaluating in your own organization
• A business outcome to improve and a way to recognize progress
• A clear sense of the evidence leadership needs before investing further

Who should attend
Business and technology leaders who are exploring, piloting, or beginning to use AI in day-to-day work, and who want a practical way to decide what’s worth scaling.

Agenda

• 4:00 PM-5:00 PM: Guided discussion on business relevance, choosing an opportunity, measuring impact, and leading change
